1236 CE

John of Brienne has helped fend off attacks by the Bulgarians and the Nicaeans, but is finally forced to appeal to the West for help.

Baldwin II, now nineteen, goes to Western Europe to solicit funds and military aid, visiting Rome, France and Flanders.

Both rulers have proved to be as weak and incapable as their Courtenay predecessors.
